Civil Aviation Authority

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is the UK’s Aviation regulator. It is responsible for the regulation of Aviation safety in the UK, determining policy for the use of airspace, the economic regulation of Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports, the licencing and financial fitness of airlines and the management of the ATOP financial protection scheme for holidaymakers.

The CAA Cyber Security Oversight Team is responsible for all cyber security regulatory activity within any of the CAA regulatory domains. All organisations in scope of the Cyber Security Oversight Process CAP1753 must partner with an accredited CAA ASSURE organisation in order to conduct their cyber security audits.

The multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary nature of Aviation cyber security means that it is critical to develop a common vision for defining a global cyber security strategy. Aligning with local and international Aviation security and management provisions, your cyber security strategy should evolve around the following components –

CAA ASSURE Cyber Audits

Released in 2020 by the Civil Aviation Authority, CAA Assure is a third-party cyber security audit scheme that has been developed in partnership with CREST to provide rigorous and continuous audits to organisations in the Aviation sector.

As a regulatory responsibility, Aviation organisations must ensure they meet the oversight responsibilities that fall under CAP 1753 – ‘The Cybersecurity Oversight Process for Aviation’. This is a six-step approach to ensuring cyber security oversight for Aviation organisations operating within the United Kingdom.

These six steps include:

All UK Aviation organisations in scope of the cyber security oversight process for Aviation (CAP 1753), will need to procure cyber audit services from an accredited ASSURE Cyber Supplier. As one of only a small number of ASSURE and CREST accredited providers in the UK, Dionach have demonstrated extensive knowledge in the following three ASSURE Specialisms: Cyber Audit & Risk Management, Technical Cyber Security and ICS/OT. As such, we are ideally positioned to assist Aviation organisations with preparing to meet the continuously changing and rigorous Aviation standards and regulations.
